Abstract:
The invention provides a device and method for reducing or segmenting a large tissue mass in a body cavity during a minimally invasive surgery. This is accomplished with using a device that uses both mechanical and electro-surgical mechanisms by creating an electrical path between two electrodes through the tissue mass. The invention uses an isolation bag to insulate the electrical path created from the body cavity.
